INTERIOR OF A MODERN FORT.

The form Of fort adopted in Europe, and
which is now considered to be well nigh i'm
pregnable. is largely the result of Yankee in
genuity Away back in lS43 Mr.. Timby, of
Washington. advocated the use of inclined
armor instead of the vertical walls then in
use. Then the conception and application of
the turret is of course due to Ericsson How
these Suggestions have been applied is well
shown in the accompanying sectional view of
a modern turtle back sunken fort.
Experiments conducted last summer at
Spezia prove that the dome and side armor
of such fort can be made of chilled iron so
as to withstand shots from the heaviest
guns now made. The occasion for the ex
periments was this: The italian government
having decided to erect two of these turtle
back forts, each to carry two l20-ton guns.
invited Gruson, the inventor of turret, to
submit n section Of it to the fire of a IOOton
gun at distance of 43S feet. If the armor
would withstand three shots under these cir
cumstances the contract would be given
him. The Gruson armor stood the test and
the contract was awarded him.
1t was shown that a turret capable of with
standing the fire of a l00-ton gum and large
enough itself TO cover a gun of that size.
would weigh $50 tons and costs about $50
to $500 per ton. To build o plant for con

Lorenzo DOw's Novel Text.

Something like sixty years ago there ap-
peared in Boston an eccentric character
named Lorenzo Dow. He professed to be
preacher in regular calling, but he was
claimed by no denomination, although he
rather favored the Methodist persuasion. He
was man of peculiar personal appearance,
very rough in speech, yet possessed Of much
originality. On one occasion he was invited
to fill the pulpit Of a Methodist church at
the North End, when, after surveying his
audience quietly for few moments, he an
nounced as his text the words: "Top Not,
Come Down" His listeners were much
astonished at his text, and still more at his
sermon, which was a TRADE against the pre-
vailing fashion of gathering the hair into a
high knot on the top of the head After the
sermon, quite a number of the principal
members came to him, saying: "Mr Dow,
we thought you preached from the Bible,
and there are no such words i'm the book
He answered.: "Please look at Matt xiv, II,

different works is about as follows:
The air brake company employs about
1900, the Union Switch company $50
men, the machine company $50 and the elec-
trio company 800. The number employed by
the natural gas company varies from about
400 in winter to 1000 in summer or the pipe

perience in repairing railroad wrecks after
Confederate raiders suggested to him a device
for replacing derailed cars. This was the
beginning of his career as an inventor He
settled in Pittsburg and has since lived there.

Fate of EN-BalIct Dancers.

Here let me remark that there is no other
class Of artists i'll the world that SO soon lose
every gift and grace of their profession as do
the exballet dancers. l have seen aged sing

potent charm when the voice itself had well
nigh wholly departed, and elderly actors and
actresses that preserved when reading or re-

OF all the American lake cities perhaps no
one occupies SO vulnerable a position, while
at the same time affording so convenient an
entry for foreign troops, as Detroit This
city, therefore, would be the great objective
point in case of war with Canada, and
glance at the map above viii show how easily
it could be reached by rail. The question
which naturally presents itself to the mind
of the reader is: "Has Detroit sufficient
Notifications to successfully withstand q
well organized attack" Most emphatically
it has not.
Detroit is protected by Fort Wayne, which
is said to be the strongest American fortifica-
tion on the upper lakes.
The fort is situated about three miles below
the city, and is at present occupied by Col.
II. M. Black and four companies of the
Twenty-third United States infantry, con-
sisting of 10 men, with those at neighboring
fortresses upon whom he could call at mo-
ment's notice While Fort Wayne is appar-
emily in excellent condition, still its usefulness,
if put to practical test, has always been
questioned by many. Its parapets are of
brick filled in with dirt and the whole sur
rounded by wide ditch. Its equipment is
scarcely worth mentioning, consisting as it
does of platforms for sixty guns with no guns
upon them.) The only pieces of artillery at
present within the fort are six pieces of
brightly polished brass, which are located on
the parade ground They are very pretty,
but of comparatively no value, as they are
all twelve-pound Napoleon guns

BATTLE or FALLING WATERS.
A VETERANS STORY.

VETERANS STORY.
II is twenty long years and more ago,
We camped in the light of the orange glow,
On Virginias . soil in sight of our foes,
And dimly the light of our camp fire rose
And we watched at Falling Waters.
The wind blew freshly DER the clover farms,
As all that night we had rest on our arms;
Morn came and we knew ere set Of the sun,
The battle nearing would be lost or won
On the field Of Falling Waters.
We shudder'd not-but firmly we stood,
As the Kissing foe came down like fiood
And we braved the storm of his leaden rain;
And soon on the heath lay the enemy slain
When charged at Falling Waters.
We pressed them backward with bay net and
shot,
And fierce grew the fight. but we waver'd nor;
BY noon-tide sun we put them 20 rout
oh never again did their banner fiout
Der freemen at Falling Waters.
Ayel We fought and bled-our work is done;
We wear decorations our valor won
But year by year the old veterans fall,
And soon in vain shall our country call
For soldiers of Falling Waters.

In one respect particularly is Canada's adj
vantage very clear. The Canadian Pacific
railway, while it is built sufficiently near
the boundary to be available as a means of
transport for troops, ammunition, supplies,
etc, is nevertheless far enough away to be
safe from the depredations of marauding
bands of United States troops. Forces might,
for instance, be landed from England at
Halifax, Nova Scotia, and thence whirled at
a rapid rate to the points where they might
be needed most.
The Canada Pacific railroad was built by
government aid, and there is no doubt that
this aid was given for the reason that Eng
land appreciated how valuable the road
would be, in case of trouble with the United
States, as a means Of communication with
its various dependencies. Thus while af-
fording means of transport for her troops,
it would also furnish an uninterrupted postal
service. 1t was possibly a prophetic omen of
the future imperial Importance of this rail-
way, that the first loaded train that passed
over its entire length from ocean to ocean was
freighted with naval stores, belonging to the
imperial war department, being transferred
from Quebec to Vancouver. 1t was also
remarkable commercial coincidence that the
first cargo of merchandise consigned to Brit
ish Columbia was a cargo of Jamaica sugar,
refined in Halifax and sent to the Pacific ter
minus, about 1000 miles under the British

. In some parts Of India it is the custom Of
snake bite specialists to apply the chicken
cure, which is thus described by a corre-
spondent:
A Hindoo woman having been bitten on
the ankle, her husband applied bandage
above the wound, and sent for the specialist.
The man recommended the chicken cure
Twelve live chickens were brought to the
house and applied to the wound one after
the other. All of them died from the effects
of the poison, and two more were sent for:
these two lived, and the patient was declared
cured. The matter having been reported to
the police, the woman was removed to hos
pital. but at the end of five hours the doctors
found no signs of poisoning, and permitted

How He Has Been Rewarded for His In
genuity.
The Westinghouse air brake has carried
the name of its inventor to every land i'll
which is found the iron rail, even the cars of
the single railroad in Japan use this brake.
Mr.. Westinghouse has given his attention to
other mechanical appliances until list of
his inventions covered by patents now num-
Der 1000 The subject to which he has
given his latest attention is the utilization of
natural gas, and in this he has so well sue
ceeded that gas is about the only fuel burned
in Pittsburg.
1t is only fifteen years since Mr.. Westing-
house began the manufacture of his own in
ventions; today his factories are located on
two continents. giving employment to be-
tween 5000 and 1000 men. About 1872 the
Westinghouse air brake works were erected
at Pittsburg. Two years later branch works
were established in England and since then
works have been built at Paris and in Ger
many.
After the brake manufactures were or
ganized 50 the whole railway world could be
supplied with his invention. Mr.. Westing-
house turned his attention to other fields. The

In building ono Of these sunken forts .
number Of circular pits are first dug; one to
be the fort proper and the others to be used
as magazines for the storing Of ammunition,
provisions, water and other requirements of
a long siege. These auxiliary pits are also to
be used for the placing OF steam engines for
developing the power to move the turrets and
guns, to furnish the electric light and work
the water and air pumps. These subterranean
chambers are connected by tunnels, the walls
and roof of all being solid masonry and con-
crete. As the possibility Of such fort being
injured by shot decreases precautions must be
taken against other modes of attack. Conse-
quently the roofs of these forts are made un-
usually strong to withstand the charges Of
dynamite and other high explosives that
will be dropped upon them. Then
bombs containing burning fluid which will
emit deadly fumes to poison the air and
smother the men who breathe it, will undoubt-
edly be used in the next war. A fluid has also
been discovered which when thrown in front
of breastworlS or fortress will burn for q
long time giving forth dense black smoke
To provide against this, air pumps have be-
come necessity to furnish pure air to the
interior of the fort and to blow away the
smoke which unless wind was blowing would
shut ont the view of the enemy as with an
impenetrable wall. This air supply must be
drawn through many pipes with secret outlets
located at long distances from the fort.

METHOD OF COAST DEFENSE WHICH

Gen. Sheridan Favors Sunken Forts with
Almost Invisible Steel Turrets-The Ex-

Gen. Sheridan expresses the opinion that
the forts to be constructed for the defense of
our cities and harbors should be so built as
to afford as small target for an enemy as
possible. He believes they shonld be under
ground, with the exception of the part in
which the guns are fired. He wonld place the
guns in turrets or sunken pits and raise the
pieces at the moment of firing. 1t is the pnr-
